Reflecting on my life I knew it wouldn’t last
The memories will live on like a story in a book
My eyes blink slowly for that final weary look
My life has been filled with happiness and sorrow
Always living for today and not worrying about tomorrow
As a child my days in the park would last forever
Parents shouting ‘Come in’, me replying ‘Never’
As a teenager I had a few scrapes with the law
Just robbed some food because we were poor
But I met my dream girl at a dance one night
The minute saw here I believed in love at first sight
The greatest gift to me was simple to be called dad
Watching your child grow in to a strapping young lad
A girl soon followed and I beamed with pride
As I watched the day she became a beautiful bride
I cried the day my both parents passed away
My Dad a war veteran who fought for his say
My mum the one who kept the family all strong
Could always go to here knowing nothing would be wrong
I’m lucky the friends that I have made throughout
Knowing their friendship was never in doubt
My legacy will live on through the stories I told
Suddenly I feel my body getting cold
I’ve taught my family to show respect to all
Never let their morals or standards fall
Treat people how you want to be treated
Stand up for old people let them be seated
My heart slowing and my hands perspire
I ask the nurse to take away my wire
As I walk towards the bright light of death
I put my head back and draw my last breath
